WINDAGE HEAVY VARMINT REST Reviews & Ratings

Available in the following formats:

The Sinclair Heavy Varmint Bench Rest model is designed for shooters who prefer using Protektor or Edgewood front sand bags. The rest top side plates allow the user to “pinch” the sand bag for subtle bag width adjustments. Purchase the front Protektor or Edgewood sand bag which best fits your forend width: sporter, varmint, or flat-bottomed B/R stock (front sand bag is not included with Sinclair Heavy Varmint Bench Rests, please see page xx and order separately).

The Sinclair Heavy Varmint All-Purpose rest is designed with our versatile All-Purpose (A/P) Top which quick-adjusts to accommodate nearly any forend. Switch from narrow sporter stocks to 3-1/2” BR stocks with a turn of a lever. The Sinclair Heavy Varmint All-Purpose Rest includes a dual-sided leather/cordura sand bag (not filled).

The windage topped version adds the convenience of quick-adjust horizontal movements for competitive shooting by turning the windage knob located on the side of the rest top. Available in both right-hand and left-hand shooter versions.

When ordering windage top versions, right-handed shooters will order a RIGHT-HAND rest and left-handed shooters will order a LEFT-HAND rest. The adjustment knob will be on the correct side to be adjusted with the shooter's off hand.

Quality rest

The Sinclair rest is well built and rock solid. Good adjustment controls especially the windage adjustable base. If I had one knock on this product it’s that the assembly instructions are awful. Outside of that I’m very pleased with this rest.

Would you recommend this? Yes, I would recommend to a friend

Why did I wait to get this?

I decided to get this rest after a friend suggested it. I had been using sand bags prior and wanted to improve repeatability for my reload testing. This was just the ticket, well worth the investment, I shouldn't have waited so long. Definitely a quality produce, very smooth movement, unlike other brands that have very coarse adjustments. The only con I have are the poor instructions that came with it. They just made me question the proper setup as they didn't include all the parts so I just had to figure it out. Matched it with a NO. 1 small owl ear front bag, perfect fit, now to decide on the rear bag height.

USA made. Excellent quality

Very precise and perfect for load development, rifle zero, long range varmint, target and competitive target shooting. You could buy two of the off shore rests for what one of these cost, but less than half the quality of the Sinclair. There is no comparison. For what shooters spend in total on firearms, optics, ammo and reloading equipment - for less than half the price of new rifle- the Sinclair precision, lifetime warranty (doubt it will ever be needed) and made in USA make this an easy purchase.

Very satisfied with my new rest

Very happy with the new rest it checks all the boxes for me. Very nicely finished and precision machined the photos don't do it justice. I also purchased the Edgewood front bag and "Grab Handle" rear bad and they are also of very high quality as well. The rest is relatively heavy (approximately 20 lbs.) and sturdy with no convenient carry handle so this is not one you want to haul any long distance. My only complaint is the rather vague 1 page instruction sheet but it wasn't to difficult to figure out how to assemble. I purchased one 15 lbs. bag of sand and it was enough to fill both bags shown with about a 1/2 cup left over

Very Nice Piece of Equipment

Very well constructed. Went together with not issues. Looking forward to getting familiar with it at the range.
